Today was a very sad day for Philadelphia fans and the sports world. Phillies Hall of Fame announcer Harry Kalas passed away at age 73. He collapsed while getting ready to broadcast the Phillies vs. Nationals game earlier today. Harry Kalas was truly a great broadcaster and was always happy to be doing what he did. I for one always looked forward to hearing Harry's voice over the radio or on the TV as I listened to or watched my Philadelphia Phillies. To me, Harry Kalas was the voice of not only the Phillies, but baseball itself. Harry Kalas was with the Phillies fans to keep them going through both the good and the bad. To me, Harry Kalas cannot be replaced in the announcers' booth. Watching today's game, I felt an unusual emptiness not hearing Harry Kalas telling us fans what was happening. I know I speak for all Phillies fans when I say Harry Kalas will be missed immensely. Thank you Harry Kalas, for all you have done for Phillies fans everywhere.
